چکیده

The 3D pyramid compressor project at the University of Glasgow has developed a compressor for images obtained from CLSM device. The proposed method using a combination of image pyramid coder and vector quantization techniques has good performance at compressing confocal volume image data. An experiment was conducted on several kinds of CLSM data using the presented compressor compared to other well-known volume data compressors, such as MPEG-1. The results showed that the 3D pyramid compressor gave higher subjective and objective quality of reconstructed images at the same compression ratio and presented more acceptable results when applying image processing filters on reconstructed images.

3D Microscopic image coding by finite-state vector quantization in an enhanced image pyramid

A novel approach, based on a 3D difference pyramid structure with vector quantization error feedback, is proposed for microscopic volume image data compression. We have improved the coding performance relative to previous work. A finite-state vector quantizer (FSVQ) is introduced to exploit the correlation between neighbouring vectors to improve the coding efficiency. The effects of FSVQ in con...

A hybrid vector quantizer for enhanced image pyramid coding with application to volumetric image compression in confocal microscopy

Three-dimensional image compression methods outperform their two-dimensional counterparts in the sense of higher rate-distortion performance for compressing volumetric image data. The state-of-the-art transform-based 3D compressors, such as 3D-SPIHT and 3D-DCT, are characterized for their rate control ability, where the qualities of the image, although are adjustable with respect to rates, are ...

An Efficient Coding Method for Teleconferencing Video and Confocal Microscopic Image Sequences

In this paper we propose a three-dimensional vector quantization-based video coding scheme. The algorithm uses a 3D vector quantization pyramidal codebook-based model with adaptive pyramidal codebook for compression. The pyramidal codebook-based model helps in getting high compression in case of modest motion. The adaptive vector quantization algorithm is used to train the codebook for optimal ...
